RIP Heathkit

Though they stopped making kits in 1992 it is sad to see them make the final walk. I had a Heathkit radio that I built with my Dad. First real experience in our hobby.

I built their pinball machine, grandfather clock & chimes, and soldering iron in the late 70s. Everything still works.

I have built their synthesizer, guitar reverb tanks, stereo receiver, power amps, AM radio, Bucket Brigade echo processor, and other items when growing up. Those experiences taught me most of what I know about analog electronics and led to a lifetime of hobby design and building.

Just remembered that the four blown-out and repaired PUP woofers were removed and re-installed with that Heathkit soldering iron from the '70s.
